Father's presence makes Vidya feel shy

Vidya Balan is essaying the role of south sensation Silk Smitha in ‘The Dirty Picture’ and sheds all her inhibitions to portray the role. She might not hesitate to open herself in front of the cast and the crew but she feels extremely shy when her father arrived on the set and she had to perform a steamy scene.

She was shocked to see her father at the Mehboob studio. Vidya was not keeping well for quite some days.

Narrating how Vidya reacted on seeing her father, a source said, “Vidya was nervous when her father was watching from behind the camera. Apart from the oomph factor, Vids also had to keep on smoking for the scene. This doubled her dilemma.”

Post hospitalization, Vidya was not feeling fine and so her father paid a visit. But when he realized that Vidya wasn’t too comfortable emoting intimate scenes in his presence, PK Balan left the sets.

“When he realised that she was inhibited seeing him on the sets, he went and spent time reading in her vanity van,” added the source.
